I am a sonicwall guy but I have a customer that has a firebox x55 that I am trying to configure. It has the ablility to do dual wan connections but I don't see where I can do port forwarding for the secondary wan to a different server on the internal network than the primary wan.

I never figured it out with Firebox (I don't really like them anyway) but I replaced it with an older TZ190 sonicwall and got that to work.

It wasn't the way I thought though. I thought I would configure another port with the other static ip from my ISP but it wouldn't allow that. All I had to do was use the wizard to create a rule to port forward http and https and change the incoming ip address to the second static ip from my ISP and it worked that way.

Essentially all it did was create a address object for the second static IP and assigned it to the WAN. Then it created the nat policies to allow traffice coming from that static IP to go to the appropriate server.

it is possible if they purchased the license key, to do the port forwarding you will go under the firewall and make a new rule, in the rule you will set "custom" and add your port forward their, then add interface to that, and select any exterenal for source then you static nated device with the port enabled.

I guess I was overthinking it.

Thanks everyone.
